[Football] FA Cup match thread

Millwall’s fine away - don’t let the press etc make you worry...

Possibly. I used to sit in with the home fans to add some irony. I did it for a quick exit and a walk to New Cross. When the tickets are released I might still be tempted. At the moment it's a 'no'.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Assume we will get the whole stand as FA cup rather than just the top tier, so shouldn't be an issue getting a ticket if you want to go

I could be wrong but I thought the lower tier was always closed for a reason, I can't remember it ever being open.

 

[Leegull]

Do we get a 3000 allocation for this one? Great away day...

Last season two were played on the Saturday and two on Sunday.

BBC said games to be played between 15th March & 18th March. (Frid-Mon)

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Nice, just need it to be selected for TV now as I’m not able to go on the Saturday.

Wouldn’t be surprised if all 4 games are on TV - 2 on BBC and 2 on BT Sport spread across Friday to Monday

I’ve definitely been in the lower tier to watch us there.

For the sake of the future of civilisation this is the one Cup tie I’m glad we’re playing away.

P.S. I wish to inform you that I’ve survived numerous visits to the bad, old Den - just. Oh well, I’ve led a good and fruitful life.

Indeed. Never had a problem going there or in the ground itself. Great away day.

Saturday 12.30 nailed on.

Everton played there late Sat KO.

Everton only got 2200.. wanted more but..

Bet the police object. They usually do.

Our last game saw both upper and lower open. Combined they hold 4000 but with a 20k capacity they would only normally give us 3000 so maybe just the upper.

There is no chance they will have the lower if we have the upper. Sure we could sell all 4000 if we were allowed them.

On the Millwall forums they seem confident if you get through the usual gay crap https://millwall-forum.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/brighton.34304/

I'm actually amazed they can string two words together on their forum, given they've had the neanderthal status extended for another year!

Should be close to that given we get 15% of 20,146

 

[Bold Seagull]

Yes, but mainly because a certain no. of Toffees went off reservation for a chew up.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Watford v palace 12:30
Millwall v Brighton 12:30
Which one is on Saturday and which one is Sunday, we will find out soon enough.

Jumping up and down here in Dubai! Home tie excepted, it's the perfect tie for us.

We've put out 2 decent Championship sides already.

Make it 3 and it's off to Wembley!

15% of ground capacity is my understanding for FA Cup away allocation. As the the New Den holds 20,000 so, yes, 3,000 would be about right. Having said that, according to the Fans Guide to Football Grounds, the away end can hold up to 4,000. We wait and see.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It's going to bring out all the Millwall thugs that don't normally go to the league games, live on TV, full house, evening game under the lights?
It will be more intense than any recent trips to the Den we have had.
And if we win?
Welcome to the house of fun.
And I will probably be in with them.
